  • Patent number: 11457886
    Abstract: A mobile digital fluoroscopy system is disclosed comprising a mobile X-ray system carrier unit, a mobile control unit and an interconnecting table. The X-ray system carrier unit comprises a kV unit, a x-control unit and a first and a second X-ray system each having a transmitter and a receiver. The respective first and second X-ray systems are configured to be mounted to a G-arm and to enable X-ray imaging in mutually intersecting planes. The mobile control unit comprises a 1st inverter, a 2nd inverter, a 1st transmitter generator, a 2nd transmitter generator and a display system. The kV unit is configured to control transmitters to emit or not to emit X-ray energy, to receive image data from the receivers and to send image data via a network connection in said cable.
